Cheese Steak Back Log

First things first:

I am not alone. I must say that OneFineJay is braver man than me to experiment with a McDonalds cheese steak.

I was having a conversation yesterday about Cheese Steaks and was reminded that I never posted anything about my Roxy’s Deli experience.

Sometime last summer Jason and I went for a bike ride on the Burke Gilman. On our return we stopped at Roxy’s. A typical sidewalk A-frame sign screamed “Authentic Philly Cheese Steak” or something along those lines.

Well I can’t refuse a challenge like that so I decided to take them up on the A-Frame offer. First off the environment in Roxy’s is very lively and the staff friendly. I informed the person behind the counter of my desire for a Philly Cheese Steak, not brandishing my badge from the Cheese Steak Police.

Upon accepting delivery of the sandwich, I immediately noted that the bread did not appear to be the traditional hoagie, but a haute monde grain product. As I looked deeper into the sandwich I also observed that provolone cheese was melted over the chopped up rib-eye steak (some will disagree that provolone is not acceptable, the streets will flow with the blood of the non-believers). Roxy’s 0, Cheese Steak Police 2. The last short coming which could be seen as a benefit to the health conscious, the grease or lack there off. Cheese Steaks should ooze grease, yes it aint pretty but that’s the facts mam.

To there credit the meat was of good quality, and all in all the sandwich tasted fantastic, however it did not taste like a Cheese Steak.

I had a good dining experience as did Jason. On a side note, Jason returned a couple of months later and claims to have had received food poisoning on his second visit.
This may have just been an excuse to get out of hanging out with his friends, but we’ll let you decide.
